Bring on the cake baking: SusieCakes, the home-style bakery concept from California, will soon open a location in the West Village at 3699 McKinney Ave. Ste. 318, in Uptown Dallas. The grand opening celebration is set for Saturday, October 3.
The West Village store was first announced in July, along with a location in Frisco's Fields West.
It is the fourth Dallas-Fort Worth location following Preston Center, Hillside Village in East Dallas, and Fort Worth's WestBend.
Founder Susie Sarich first opened SusieCakes bakery in 2006 in Los Angeles' Brentwood neighborhood, and there are now locations throughout California, from San Diego to San Francisco. SusieCakes offers an alternative to the artificial flavors and preservatives found in most grocery store cakes by using fresh, simple ingredients by on-site bakers, the company says.

The bakery has developed a loyal following for its Vanilla Celebration Cake, custom layer cakes, cupcakes topped with buttercream frosting, and nostalgic treats such as chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles, and flourless peanut butter cookies. Seasonal cakes and desserts also rotate throughout the year. For fall, think crumble-topped fruit pies baked in flaky crusts and holiday-inspired desserts.
Sarich says she's excited about the new Dallas location.
“Opening in West Village is a wonderful next step as we continue to grow SusieCakes in Dallas,” she says in the release. “As a Dallas resident, it’s been special to see firsthand how warmly the community has embraced SusieCakes. West Village is such a vibrant neighborhood, and we look forward to welcoming guests in and being part of even more celebrations, both big and small.”
SusieCakes' West Village Grand Opening Celebration will take place 12-3 pm Saturday, October 3, with special giveaways, music, samples, and an opportunity to say "hello" to Sarich in person.
The bakery will be open from 10 am-7 pm on opening day, with festivities including:
- Free SusieCakes mugs for the first 50 guests, beginning at 10 am. with purchase, limited to one per guest
- A raffle for the chance to win free cake for a year
- The opportunity to meet Susie Sarich in person
- DJ tunes and complimentary samples from 12-3 pm
The ever expanding bakery also offers delivery, both national and local, at susiecakes.com.
